5 PMO Solutions for Challenges in the Digital Transformation Journey

Since the digital
transformation is every company’s mission now, your PMO team might already be
working on it. While you need to adapt to new roles, there are issues that you
must be prepared to handle. In this article at PMO Solutions, Amireh
Amirmazaheri discusses 5 PMO solutions for challenges faced in the digital
transformation journey.

PMO and Digital Transformation

The role of a PMO in a digital transformation journey is
about implementing policies that favor change and support it. Ralf Finchett Jnr
gave solutions to 5 PMO challenges at the PMO Sydney Meetup session:

Understanding the Term: Digitization is more than a shift from paper to digitized transactions. The PMO must explain
across the company the true value addition digital
transformation brings. The company and the top leadership must lead the change
and make customer-centric strategies. The organization has to offer
omni-channel support to the customers.

Delivery Approaches Over Agile:‘Be an Agile
realist, not an Agile evangelist.’ Not all company can be Agile, and it
works for deliverables that the client has already defined. Delivery approaches
like Digital Transformation Agency (DTA) and Government Digital Services
(GDS-UK) set expectations as per the Agile sprint deliverables. Discovery,
Alpha, Beta, Live, etc. are approaches that fit sprints into the project
lifecycle. As a PMO, you must create a work environment that allows free flow
of thoughts. You should have credible reasons for the changes and the delivery
method organization must opt for digital transformation.

Making Decisions: To implement changes, PMO must back claims of possible
benefits by using insightful data with volumetrics and value-metrics. You
should choose the right metrics to compare values of the designs. Use of
reliability metrics will prove how proactive approach is better than the
reactive.

Finding Relevant Skills: The PMO must constantly strive
to find skills that support emerging
technologies like AI, the blockchain, and
voice activation. Enable your team to learn and adapt to the evolving digital
transformation world faster.

The Right Investment: A good PMO would want to buy solutions that provide flexibility of the initial stages of the digital transformation journey. While looking after value delivery, you must also facilitate a work environment that enables new ideas, products, and services.
